摘要:
A character recognition apparatus is provided which, even when there occurs a local positional deviation of a character to be recognized, can stably recognize the character with high accuracy. For each contour point of a character image, a contouring direction code imparting unit 15 obtains a contouring direction code in which a contouring line direction of the character is quantized in four directions. A contouring direction code frequency calculation unit 16 calculates the frequency of each contouring direction code for each subregion of the character image. A contouring direction code density calculation unit 17 calculates the density of the contouring direction codes of each subregion, by using the frequency of the direction codes and the size of the respective subregion. A contouring direction code space blurring unit 18 conducts a weighted addition on each of the obtained contouring direction codes by adding, with a predetermined weight coefficient, the contouring direction code densities of neighbor subregions which are adjacent to the respective subregion with the subregion as the center and in a direction perpendicular to that of each of the contouring direction codes.

A recognition apparatus is provided with a plurality of recognition units organized in a multilayered hierarchical structure. Each of the recognition units includes a signal input section, a quantizer for performing a quantization according to a signal inputted from the signal input section, and a path selecting section for performing a selection of paths according to an output from the quantizer. The path selecting section includes a path input section having at least one path input terminal, a path output section having at least one path output terminal, a load distribution selecting section for selecting a load distribution, and a load setting section for changing the strength of connection between the path input terminal and the path output terminal according to the output of the quantizer by the use of the load distribution selected by the load distribution selecting section.

摘要:
A learning machine has plural multiple-input single-output signal processing circuits connected in a hierarchical structure. The learning machine sets a threshold value, which is a evaluation standard for change in weight coefficients, high during the early part of the learning process and enables rough learning to progress without changing the weight coefficients for those multiple-input single-output signal processing circuits for which errors are sufficiently small. On the other hand, the learning machine gradually reduces the threshold value as learning progresses and advances learning by a non-linear optimization method (including a conjugate gradient method, a linear search method, or a combination of conjugate gradient and linear search methods) during the later part of the learning process, and thereby improves the learning speed.
